Winter/Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome to the Winter/Christmas Themed
Blog Hop celebrating my favorite time of the year! I love winter and snow AND
it’s my birthday season! :) You should have arrived here from Cindy. If you are just joining us, you can go to Paulette’s
blog, Around the Bock with Scrapalette.

My project for the hop is a 12x12 layout. I am IN LOVE with these pictures of my girls
from last winter. We went out to play in
the snow and the whole family got involved, including our dog. Often times we make the pictures black and
white so that the colors aren’t clashing.
In this case, I wanted to try the opposite – make the layout black and
white so that the pictures stand out.
Here it is!

I found this to be difficult and it didn’t quite turn
out the way I had hoped but it’s still something that I will try again.

For this layout I used:

Winter Frolic - Winter Fun phrase at 3" Border cut at 1" twice (*they don't quite meet under the pictures, it's an illllllusion :) )Jolly Holidays - Mittens with snowflakes at 2" Mittens with String at 4""Skittles" on the string mittens instead of the button cutStickles on the mittens to give the snow lookSnowflake stickers that I had in my stash to make the row along the bottom

I hope you have enjoyed my project and the hop this
far. I have some blog candy to give
away!

To win, please leave a comment telling me your favorite thing about the winter/Christmas season! You do not have to be a follower of my blog, but I would love it if you decide to! (If you cannot see my follower list on the right, refresh your page. I have found that this usually works to bring it up. Blogger can be so goofy sometimes!)

I love the way your LO is set and just the mittens on top for an embellishment. My favorite things in Winter and the Christmas Holiday is the bright and festival colors. Watching the littles ones sparkle, family friends. Remebering what Christmas is about.
